Six Things That Define How We Work
These are not marketing points — they are the practical characteristics of our service model and the reasons clients choose to come back.
Fixed Scope, Fixed Price
Each service is priced before it starts and scoped in writing. RM 128 for a document batch. RM 425 for a booking desk setup. RM 596 for a staff session. There are no retainers, no change fees, and no additions without your agreement.
Built for Multiple Languages
Sandakan businesses handle enquiries in Malay, English, and Mandarin as a matter of course. The booking desk is configured for this from the start, not retrofitted. Training sessions can also be conducted bilingually on request.
Data Policies Explained Before We Start
We tell you which tools we use and what their data handling policies are before an engagement begins. If a tool is not appropriate for the type of information involved, we say so and agree on an alternative or decline the work.
Sabah-Specific Seasonal Knowledge
The booking desk setup includes your seasonal calendar — school holidays in Sabah, Kaamatan, Hari Raya, and other periods when availability information needs to change. This is not added as a separate line item; it is part of the standard setup.
Originals Untouched and Returned
Document originals are handled with care and returned in the order they were received. We produce a written note on any documents that read poorly — typically faded thermal paper — so you know what the digital index may be missing.
One Month of Follow-Up Included
After a Staff Session, a follow-up email channel is open for one month at no additional cost. Questions that come up in daily use — about a specific scenario, a customer request, or a tool's behaviour — can be addressed through this channel.

Each Benefit, Explained in Full
EXPERTISE BENEFIT
Experience With the Work, Not Just the Tools
Our founding team spent time in document management, hospitality reservations, and adult training in Sabah before starting the studio. We understand the situations our clients are in because we have been in them — not only read about them.
- Nine years in document management (founding principal)
- Multilingual hospitality reservations background
- Adult training in Sabah schools and hospitality groups
TECHNOLOGY BENEFIT
Tools Chosen for the Task, Not the Brand
We do not represent any AI platform or resell subscriptions. The tools we use are selected for each engagement based on what the work requires and what the client's data can safely enter into. If a tool changes its policies, we adjust accordingly and tell you.
- No platform partnerships or commissions
- Tools disclosed in writing before each engagement
- Alternatives offered where a tool is not appropriate
SERVICE BENEFIT
Direct Communication Throughout
You deal with the person doing the work, not an account manager relaying messages. Questions during an engagement go directly to the team member responsible. Responses are straightforward and timely.
VALUE BENEFIT
Priced for Small Business, Not Enterprise
Each service is priced to be accessible to a business with ten or fewer staff. There are no minimum commitments, no annual contracts, and no setup fees beyond the published price. You pay once for a defined deliverable.
RESULTS BENEFIT
Outcomes You Can Measure
At the end of each engagement, you receive a defined deliverable — a searchable index, a functioning booking desk, or trained staff with a written checklist. You can assess what you received against what was agreed before we started.
WS · REF 003 — COMPARISON
Warisan Studio vs Typical AI Consultants
This is not a disparagement of others — it is a factual account of how our service model differs from the common pattern.
| FEATURE | TYPICAL CONSULTANTS | WARISAN STUDIO |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Monthly retainer or hourly billing | Fixed price per deliverable |
| Language support | English only, or extra cost | Malay, English, Mandarin included |
| Scope defined before work begins | Often open-ended | Written scope note required |
| Tool disclosure | Rarely stated | Disclosed in writing per engagement |
| Sabah seasonal calendar awareness | Usually not included | Standard in booking desk setup |
| Post-service follow-up | Billed separately | 30 days included after Staff Session |
| Minimum commitment | Often 3–12 month contract | None — single engagement basis |
WS · REF 004 — WHAT SETS US APART
Three Things We Do That Are Not Standard Elsewhere
Written Condition Report on Document Batches
After digitising a batch, we provide a written note identifying documents that read poorly — typically faded receipts or thermal paper. This tells you specifically which items in the digital index may be incomplete. No other provider in Sandakan includes this as standard.
Seasonal Calendar Built Into the Booking Desk
Setup includes your peak and off-peak periods, school holiday dates for Sabah, and major festival calendars when pricing and availability information changes. The desk answers differently in these periods without requiring staff to update it manually.
The "Are You a Person?" Script
Every Staff Session includes specific guidance on how to answer when a guest asks whether they are speaking to a person. This is an increasingly common question and one that most AI training courses do not address directly. We give your team a considered, honest response they can use with confidence.
